"Artikel ini membahas mengenai kiprah Senator Robert “Fighting Bob” La Follette dari Wisconsin untuk mencegah masuknya Amerika Serikat ke Perang Dunia Pertama. La Follette merupakan salah satu politisi Progresif paling berpengaruh di Amerika Serikat pada awal abad 20, dan merupakan salah satu figur yang paling menentang imperialisme dan kebijakan luar negeri Amerika Serikat. Ketidakpercayaannya terhadap bisnis besar dan korporasi menjadikan dirinya sebagai tokoh yang divisif, baik di medan Senat maupun di kalangan pers. Artikel ini juga membahas bagaimana idealisme La Follette bertentangan dengan kebijakan diplomasi Presiden Woodrow Wilson, yang juga merupakan seorang figur Progresif. Artikel ini disusun menggunakan metode sejarah, yang terdiri dari heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Dengan menggunakan sumber surat kabar dan otobiografi, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kegagalan La Follette dalam mencegah masuknya Amerika Serikat dalam perang menjadi awal dari hilangnya momentum gerakan Progresif yang selama ini memotori reformasi-reformasi di tingkat negara bagian dan nasional.

This article discusses about the efforts of Senator Robert “Fighting Bob” La Follette from Wisconsin in preventing the United States from entering the fray of the First World War. La Follette was one of the most influential Progressive politicians in the U.S in the beginning of the 20th century, and was also one of the most vocal advocates against imperialism and foreign policies of the U.S. His distrust towards big business and corporations made him a divisive figure in Senate and also in the press. This article also discusses about how La Follette’s idealism put him at odds with the diplomatic policies of President Woodrow Wilson, who was also one of the most influential Progressive figures in America. This article was compiled using historical method, which consists of heuristic, critic, interpretation, and historiography. Using primary sources like newspaper and autobiography, this research showed La Follette’s failure in preventing America’s entry into the war became one of the causes of the dissipating momentum of the Progressive movement which thus far has been the driving cause behind the political reforms in both state and federal level."

"Over the past two decades, labor unions in the United States have experienced a profound crisis. In spite of spending hundreds of millions of dollars on new organizing campaigns, unions have not won a major victory since 1995, and membership rates have steadily plunged. Meanwhile, corporate power has strengthened its grip, making the strength of unions more relevant than ever. What is the reason behind the downfall of the unions, and what can be done about it? No Shortcuts examines the ways in which unions can reverse their recent decline, arguing that despite todays extremely hostile environment, unions could win much more if they changed their organizing strategies. Through case study analysis, the book demonstrates that different organizing strategies produce different outcomes representing different levels of success, and that the reason for the decline in union victories lies not in the growing power of employers, but rather in the ways in which unions organize both members and nonmembers. Once, the workers themselves were the focus of union organizing, but organizers in the new millennium have spent most of their energy on corporate campaigns intended to weaken employer opposition to unions-making the employers, not the workers, the new center of the movement. No Shortcuts concludes that reversing todays inequality will require a robust embrace of unions-but of unions that are democratic and focused on bottom-up rather than top-down strategies, that place the agency for change in workers acting collectively both at work and in the communities in which they reside. Finally, the books analysis, although focused on the organization of strong unions, has the broadest possible application: the organization of a just society."
